Superb Profitable Affiliate Marketing Wordpress Theme - Flexsqueeze

Flex SqueezeBrief, pithy and to the point - I plan on giving a far more detailed review of FlexSqueeze once my current projects are completed…but did want to give you the following headsup!

You’ve probably heard of landing pages or squeeze pages or other nifty thingees that allow you to build your list, direct traffic to key areas of your site/blog, etc., right?  Well, if you’re a hardcore programmer like me, you generally get up at 4am to handcode such loveliness into your site.

But!  If you’re wise because you have a life and want to make things really easy, you search for themes that make it beyond simple to create such profit-building goodies.  And FlexSqueeze is definitely one of them!

Feverishly boosting affiliate income via one time offer scripts

One Time Offer!Have you ever visited a snazzy product site online, yielded to the temptation to BUY BUY BUY only to be confronted with a One Time Offer that’s simple to die for?

Hmmmm?

One time offers are rather brilliant marketing tools and very useful online as well!  After all, your customer already has committed to giving up some money to your worthy offerings…extol the virtues of a one time offer well enough and voila, that’s an extra 20+ dollars in your pocket.  Honestly, it’s just plain common sense to use.

Which brings me to April Fools!  Yesterday I spent 4 hours crafting: Read more »

2 Tier vs. 1 Tier Affiliate Marketing programs

Being paid for every sale is wonderful!

That’s what a 1st tier affiliate program/level is.  Some visits an affiliate site from your link, sees something so magnificent the urge to buy is unavoidable, and whomp!  It’s a great commission for you.

Being paid for every sale that someone else has caused to happen is even better!

That’s what a 2 Tier affiliate program is.    Someone signs up as an affiliate from your link.  That person makes a sale.  They get the 1st tier commission, and you get a 2nd tier commission to boot.  With no effort on your part, I might add!

Two-tier affiliate programs very very useful indeed, and should be something you really want to incorporate into your own niche affiliate marketing.

But now an opportunity for increased frustration is arrowing directly at your head.  If you want 2-tier affiliate commissions to flow in, generally it’s helpful if you educate your subaffiliates as to the best way to market.  After all, not everyone knows the difference between promoting a PRODUCT and promoting the AFFILIATE PROGRAM for that product.  Believe you me…they’re two totally different beasties indeed.

Don’t get me wrong - 1 tier affiliate products can be mighty fine indeed!  But let’s say that you have, oh,  a dating site (let’s pick one of the most popular online topics).  You can choose to market to two different segments:

  • People looking to date online

and

  • People looking to make money by showing others how to date online

Two different interests…but both can be handled adroitly by your site.  It’s all in how you choose to present the opportunities.

Two of my favorite 2-tier affiliate programs are:

  • Ken Evoy’s Site Sell program - it’s been around for over a decade and has a well-deserved reputation as one of the best how-tos for business online.
  • aWeber - the ultimate in Autoresponders (if you don’t have your own autoresponder, you’re not serious about making money online.  Period).

The great thing about both these programs is their product is useful for virtually every niche.  You simply have to provide compelling reasons why someone should consider them…and then offer a followup with helpful suggestions as well. 

A good way to find 2 tier affiliate programs is to search online like so:

Carefully and methodically check out what’s returned…and then see if you can honestly recommend the program (you never want to compromise on your standards).   Who knows…it might be the money-maker for which you’ve been searching!

Enjoy,

Barbara Ling

Thanks for stopping by!

I’m so glad you dropped on by!

The Affiliate Brainery is your one stop site for free eclasses on effectively affiliate marketing techniques for a multitude of niches, including beating the recession, marketing, dieting, fitness, lust, satellite TV, dating, and much much more.

The premise here is simple.  There are tons of sites out  there that assume you have a marketer’s knowledge of how affiliate programs can make you money.

I, however, don’t take that view.

Instead, I’ve built this site as a knowledgeable layperson would. 

I sure as heck didn’t know all the marketing jargon when I started my own adventure in affiliate marketing…

I only knew what I wanted to learn (make money!) and through trial and error, hit upon excellent techniques that I could duplicate no matter what niche was involved.

Once the techniques were developed, I realized…Hey!  I can teach these to other folks on the Internet who want to make money via niche affiliate marketing too!

And so this site was borne.

With that, let me show you some of the best ways you can benefit!

  • Sign up for my free newsletter.  I’ve already pre-programmed it with 52 weeks of content so you’ll be ensured of weekly free lessons of high quality (plus receive extra bonuses when I come across must-have tools for affiliate marketing too!).
  • Subscribe to the Affiliate Brainery feed.  That way, you’ll always receive lessons without doing anything on your part.
  • Check out the free classes I offer above!  And perhaps let me know what YOU’D like to learn - I’ll be happy to create a class on it.

Please enjoy your visit!  And do feel free to tell your friends about it - they’ll thank you for it.

Enjoy,

Barbara LIng
